The Israeli occupation army revealed on Friday that it had deployed its Iron Dome defence system around the Gaza Strip.

Israeli news reports said the military approved reporting about the new deployment of the Iron Dome in the Sderot and Nitefot settlements in the western Negev known as the Gaza periphery.
The Israeli army made no disclosures about the security considerations which led to the deployment of the Iron Dome.
However, Israeli analysts believe this was most likely a response after the launch of several rockets at Israel, as well as to the latest military exercises carried out by Hamas across the Gaza Strip.
